Book description
Molly Bennett and Nellie McDonough are as close as can be. They sort
out all the neighbours' problems, care for seven children between them,
and still have time for a giggle and a gossip. So imagine the excitement
when Nellie's son, Steve, proposes to Molly's daughter, Jill. But it's
not long before unsettling events turn their attention again to friends
in need. The Bradley family, who have moved in up the street, are a bad
lot, and Molly and Nellie find their hands full with sorting out the
troubles that ensue. Meanwhile, Molly's teenage daughter, Doreen, has
fallen head over heels in love with a young lad named Philip. She hasn't
been with anyone quite like him before, and she's in for a terrible
shock when she finds out whose family he comes from... Joan Jonker was
born and bred in Liverpool. She led a rich and varied life and was
devoted to her family. Before writing novels, she worked tirelessly for
the charity-run organisation Victims of Violence which she founded in
1976. Sadly, Joan died in 2006, but she is remembered fondly by her
family and friends and her multitude of fans.
